Oh lawd! That doesn't make me feel good.

It honestly is just one of those fluke things that can happen! They gave me the blood thinners in my belly like they were supposed and still... My poor Dr feels so bad though even though its not his fault and I swear I am being treated like a queen in here!

Im just walking and walking and walking. They wont give me anything for it. I threw up once mire but found out it was my asthma meds! It was ooening my lyngs up which in turn made me cough up/ swallow mucus which irritated my new stomach.... i might have to stay 1 more day.. im thursty though.. i hooked up my heating pad and hit the morphine and passed out!!!! Best sleep ive had since being here. The nurses let me sleep for a while. They are really accommodating. Bout to go on last walk before sleep time. 3 laps here i come!!!!

I get sleeved tomorrow. Yesterday I went skiing with my grand kids, it was such an awesome day. It helped me remember why I want this, while many say ”nothing tastes as good as thin feels ", for me it's "as good as healthy feels" my family is very active and my weight hasn't stopped me yet from participating, but I see that it will in the near future. I want to do half marathons with my grand kids, I want to ski with them, I want to never have to be in the situation where I'm to heavy to participate. With this surgery I'm giving myself a tool in which to accomplish that. So when you see someone eating French fries, or ice cream, whatever your "food" is, remember what your reason for doing this was and I'll bet nothing tastes as good as your reason is. Good luck to everyone!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
